“I think most everyone in the NBA has reached the same conclusion,” Redick said, “and that’s that we need some change.”

NBA players are expected to meet in Houston during All-Star weekend to determine Hunter’s future with the union.

Hunter, who has headed the union since 1996, was placed on a leave of absence on Feb. 1 by the union’s executive committee.

In an audit of union business practices, an independent law firm concluded that Hunter, while doing nothing illegal, hired family members, used more than $100,000 of union funds to give gifts to executive committee members, used $80,000 of union funds to evaluate an investment in a banking firm that had ties to his son and finalized a contract extension for himself that wasn’t properly approved.

His agent, Arn Tellem, one of the sport’s most powerful agents, has called for Hunter’s ouster.

Redick initially planned to attend the meeting in Houston, but it’s possible that Magic rookie Andrew Nicholson, who already will be in Houston to play in Friday night’s rookie-sophomore game, will represent the team.

In yet another blow to the Orlando Magic during a largely dismal season for the franchise, the NBA suspended small forward Hedo Turkoglu on Wednesday for 20 games without pay for testing positive for methenolone, an anabolic steroid.

The last 11 months have been difficult for Anthony and Eldrie Scott, with every holiday or milestone bringing another reminder. They had lost their only child, something they pray no other parent has to experience.
